Amazing City Tour of Moshi!
I want to give a big thank you to Ziggy and Mama Africa for taking me and my sister on a wonderful city tour of Moshi. We really enjoyed every moment and felt so welcomed throughout the day. Ziggy’s recommendations on what to see and do were absolutely perfect and helped us make the most of our time in the city. We truly loved the experience and are very grateful for their kindness and guidance. Highly recommended!

Good tour but lunch not included
The tour gave us a flavor of Moshi and was a great way to stretch our legs after long flights. It would be good to have some shillings to be able to purchase fruit at the market. The ginger shots were sinus clearing. The downside was that when we stopped for lunch we had to buy our own plus pay for Ziggy's coke.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback and for joining our Moshi city tour. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring the markets, the ginger shots, and stretching your legs after a long flight. We’re sorry for the confusion around lunch. A meal was included, but since preferences varied — with one guest opting out and another preferring Union Café, which was beyond our normal budget — it may not have felt clear. We’ll improve our communication to avoid any future misunderstandings. Regarding Ziggy’s drink, that should have been covered, and we sincerely apologize for the oversight. Thank you for pointing this out; we’ve already addressed it with our team. We greatly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us keep improving. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Peter Tarry Adventures & Safaris

Innacurate info.
Although there is a lunch included, the guide "forgot" about it. He pointed us to a nice local restaurant, though.
Response from the operator: Hello, Laurent Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the issue regarding lunch during your experience. Normally, we provide our guests with an option for lunch or juice/coffee, and we regret that this wasn’t provided to you on this occasion. While we are pleased the guide could suggest a local restaurant to make up for it, we understand that this fell short of the standards we strive to deliver. Please know that we are taking steps to ensure such oversights do not happen again. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for an improved experience. Warm regards, Peter Tarry Adventures

The tour was excellent! We saw Moshi within 2 hours and all its beauty and hidden gems! The guide was very kind, knowledgable and was so happy to show us around! We even tried local ginger shots to boost our immune systems. Ziggy’s tour was definitely a great addition to our holiday!

Fab walking trip round Moshi town
Peter was a great guide showing us round Moshi town. Pick up from hotel and tour included the markets, Moshi town and a trip to along the railway, stopping at lots of interesting places along the way. I had to change the time of my trip and Peter was very accommodating. If you are in Moshi definitely book on this trip as you will see lots of places you wouldn’t on your own

Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moshi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot?
+
Included: Lunch; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 16 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Moshi City Tour: Explore the Foothill of Kilimanjaro on Foot offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
